the dog ate my…

Visicol. I picked it up, along with other prescriptions from the pharmacy yesterday. If you don’t know what Visicol is (I didn’t until this week), let me enlighten you. Visicol is a prescription laxative that my doctor told me will give me the worst diarrhea of my life. Apparently, he likes his patients to have empty bowels before surgery.

I came home last night to pill bottles everywhere. The only one she got open was the Visicol – after counting the pills, it turns out she probably ingested just one (thank goodness!). The pharmacy staff were very helpful and friendly on the phone. They just said she may have some loose stools, and they gave me one more Visicol to replace the missing one.

I’m really just glad that I didn’t have to call the doctor to tell him that my dog ate my pills.
